The January 22nd answer is TWEAK.

For our starting word today we used the aforementioned IRATE. This provided three letters that were all in the wrong position, including the two very important vowels. Mixing them around a bit we tried TAPER as our second guess locking in the 'T' and providing a few more incorrect places for the two vowels.

Our third guess was TEXAS which locked in the 'A' and left only one possible location for the 'E'. Our fourth and final guess scored us a win-in-four with the correct answer, TWEAK.
